Wire lor Fences, 
A LSO Staples ready made, by the pound, at price of wire and 4 
cents per hundred staples for making, (machine made.) 
Our Wire is of the best quality of iron, used by our Telegraph 
Companies, &c., which needs no annealing whatever, in being 
worked. 
It is a fact acknowledged by all wire manufacturers, that the pro¬ 
cess of annealing iron wire opens its pores to the effect of the at¬ 
mosphere, lessens its weight 12 to 15 per cent., lessens its tenacity 
for tension 33 per cent., and destroys its elasticity. Fence makers 
will find it much cheaper to use tough, bright wire, in all cases, even 
at one to three cents per pound extra, than the cheaper qualities of 
iron at their value, which require annealing to be used. 
Nos. 7, 8 and 9, for 5£ cents ; Nos. 10 arid 11, for 6 cts per lb.

Hydraulic Water Rams. 
'THIS simple apparatus for elevating water from a spring or 
brook, has now been very extensively and favorably introduced, 
and enables the persons having a good spring of water below their 
buildings, to have a constant, never failing stream of water at any 
place desired, and so long as water will, of its own gravity, run 
down hill, so long it may, by this simple machine, be made to run 
up hill to any desired elevation. Full directions accompany each 
machine, enabling the purchaser to put them in operation himself, 
and all are warranted to operate salisfactori'y. Price from $8 to 
$25. For sale, wholesale and retail, at the

prove the stock of the United States, He purposes to attend the sale 
of the Short-horn cattle belonging to the estate of the late Thomas 
Bates, Esq., of Kirkleavington, Yorkshire ; but will not confine his 
purchases to that herd. He expects to return to America in Septem¬

PATENT FAN MILLS AND CRADLES. We continue to 
x manufacture these celebrated Mills and Cradles. 
They have been awarded six first premiums at the New- 
York State Fairs, and at the great American Institute in New 
York, and several County Fairs, always taking the first premium 
over all other mills. The manufacturers feel confident, therefore, 
in offering these mills to the public, that they are the best in use. 
During the year 1S47 they were introduced into England, by Mr. 
Slocum, of Syracuse. They were very favorably noticed by the 
English papers; and from a communication of Mr. S.’s, published 
in the Transactions of the N. Y. State Ag. Society, for 1847, it 
will be seen that they were tried by several large farmers, and 
highly approved. One farmer, it is stated, set aside an almost new 
winnowing machine, for which he paid £18, ($90) and used 
Grant’s for cleaning a crop of 300 qrs. (2,700 bushels) of wheat, 
and several hundred bushels of mustard seed. We have lately 
made some valuable improvements in the article, though the price 
remains the same as before. 
Our fans are extensively used and highly approved at the south, 
for cleaning rice. We are permitted to make the following ex¬ 
tracts from letters received from Hon. J. R. Poinsett, of South Ca¬ 
rolina :—“ The fan you sent last summer, [1848] has been success¬ 
fully used to clean dirty rice, and winnow that from the threshing 
floor. It answers every purpose.” In relation to another of our 
fans, he writes, (April 23, ’49.)—“ Both this and the first mill you 
sent, work very well; and the last, which is the largest that can 
be well worked by a man, cleans the dirty rice perfectly, and is 
altogether the best wind-fan I ever used for that purpose.” 
The great encouragement we have received from dealers and 
agjiculturists, has induced us to greatly enlarge our business, and 
we hope by strict attention, to merit a further patronage. 
Orders will be thankfully received, and receive prompt atten¬ 
tion. I. T. GRANT A CO.
